Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate 2019
VPPSA member customers are eligible for a $300 rebate on the purchase of a heat pump water heater. To qualify, the heat pump water heater MUST replace a fossil fuel fired water heater.
How A Heat Pump Water Heater Works
Unlike traditional electric heaters, heat pump water heaters do NOT generate their own source of heat! They work by extracting heat from the air surrounding the pump and dispersing it into water inside of a tank. As the water inside the tank heats up, the air surrounding the pump cools down and dehumidifies. So the heat pump water heater doesn't just heat water- it air conditions the space around it.
